Some of the curries or dishes that I try in my kitchen are ideas that I get from family or friends and sometimes I get the ideas from friends of my family :) The latter is applicable in this instance :) I got the idea for this cauliflower curry from my sister in law Anu, who in turn got it from her Gujarati friend. She tried and liked it and mentioned it to me one day. I promptly wrote it down and gave it a try myself...... and I loved it.

The ingredients in this curry are somewhat similar to the ones used in other onion tomato gravy curries, yet adding the tomatoes at the end makes a difference to the texture and taste of the gravy. It has a very light and fresh taste and this curry tastes amazing with some phulkas . It has the typical combination that I see in so many Gujarati dishes, a little bit of tart, a little bit of sweet and a little bit of heat. This quick and easy curry is perfect for quick weeknight dinners when you do not want to fuss with something more elaborate, and yet want something nutritious, low fat, healthy and tasty :)

When the cumin seeds sizzle add onions and saute until the onions turn translucent.

Add potatoes and cauliflower, a little bit of salt and turmeric powder and stir well. Lower heat, add a little water, cover with a lid and allow the potatoes and cauliflower to cook until soft. Stir a few times in between to ensure even cooking.

Once the cauliflower and potatoes are cooked and soft, add tomato pieces, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder, sugar and adjust salt to taste and allow to cook until the tomatoes are soft. Add water as required to achieve required consistency.
